LESSON IV - PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER IN
POWERPOINT
Students
will work on an individual PowerPoint presentation
(See AfricanArt.pdf.)
1) Students
will extend their investigation by
gathering
information about the tribe who created
their piece
of art.
Here are
some good sites to research the tribes:
http://uiowa.edu/~africart/toc/people.html
http://kcls.org/hh/africantribes.cfm
2) They will
include a map of Africa and include a
description
of the country and region in Africa they
are
referencing in their presentation. They can use
www.google.com and click on Images
before typing in
the name of
the image. Downloading is as easy as
dragging the
image into the PowerPoint presentation
slide.
3) Presentations will be
shown to the class. Teacher can
evaluate student work
using this rubric.
**Student work
samples:

EXTENSION ACTIVITY:
AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR CONNECTION
Background
info: Scholastic: Chris Van Allsburg's Biography

I also like
the quote on this page:
http://eduplace.com/author/vanallsburg/
Chris Van
Allsberg always draws the pictures before he
writes the
story. Now that the students know about the
piece by
researching it on the Internet, they can
extend it by using
the object as the focus of a story.
Students can
include the elements of
characterization, setting, plot and movement through
time.
